Simon Rakoff Says!

About this Episode

Jan 14th, 2016. This week on Forever Young, we pick the brain of Canadian comedy heavyweight Simon Rakoff. Rakoff was there from the early days, when the Canadian standup scene was a dozen upcoming comics hanging out in a basement club (the first Yuk Yuks), and bouncing jokes off each other in a Toronto deli. Who influenced him? How did het get here? How has the landscape of laughs changed in Canada. And the comics we've loved and lost along the way.
